My beautiful children. (who apparently have the same smile.)
This years conference for our denomination, Seventh Day Baptists, was held in Springfield, MO. John was once again the young adult Pre-con director with our good friends Dave and Nick.

This year we went along with him and stayed on campus. I was in charge of running errands and organizing the food for the party Saturday evening. The kids both had a fantastic time at pre-con. Xavier was his normal outgoing self and made himself right at home with the young adults. He ate almost every meal with them, walked around campus with them, and even participated in their court jester game at the party.

Conference was nice and I got to establish some new friendships as well as catch up with old friends. We also got a nice big "surprise" with John being names Conference President-elect for conference in 2012. WOW!!??? It is a huge responsibility, but we have faith that God has his reasons and we will do our best as a family to do what God has called us to do.
